BLUEY ON MY TIMELINE???

gotta love the heelers

I should go to bed early. I gotta take my oldest kitties, Hal and Caboose, in for their checkup in the morning... and today was a long day.

hoping for good news from the vet 🤞🏻

ok got the cats taken care of and got their chewy order done, now I just have to wait for their bloodwork results...

well I didn't hear back from the vet, they said they'd only contact me if there was an issue with the bloodwork, so... no news is good news

I guess they'll get their bloodwork done again in Dec when they need a vaccine

camping/biking trip is in two weeks, so... I gotta figure out what if there's anything I need to get for it still

I don't really want to spend the money, but I think I need at least one new pair of bike shorts

I figured I'd also order a book to read while on the trip, since the library has a waiting list on all the books I'm really interested in

there are tons of books lying around the house that used to belong to my grandmother, but they're all mystery/murder novels and... idk they're not really my thing

I really need to give the books away, because I don't think anyone in the family wants them and they're just collecting dust...

I'll need to remember to go shop for travel-sized things... I don't want to haul around a heavy toiletries bag if I can help it

oh yeah, I also need to get my hair cut... since it's been forever since I had it done. I want a shorter cut I won't really have to style

ok got the books I wanted ordered... The Tainted Cup and The Last Unicorn and Jonathan Livingston Seagull... because I always wanted copies of those

scheduled a hair appointment for the 11th, it might rain all day, so probably won't wanna bike

Jonesy rubbed his cheek against my hand for the first time

hopefully he'll let me pet him soon, then, but I've left it up to him if he wants to be touched or not

Jonesy let me pet him briefly

hm I should probably go pick up my glasses today since they're ready... idk, I might wait till Monday

I probably should have made myself do it yesterday, but I was tired and took a nap instead

too hot to bike today, but I need to make myself use the stationary bike, I haven't been doing it this week...

tomorrow hopefully I can get a longish ride in

I keep forgetting tomorrow is the 4th, so... probably visit with mom and I can ride on the trail at her house

made a list of stuff for the trip, hopefully I got everything I need to take. some stuff I still need to buy. And I need to make sure the tent is still in good condition

I thought I was supposed to have a therapy session today like usual but I haven’t gotten a link to join or anything so idk. I have to text my therapist, maybe she didn’t schedule the appointment

If I don’t have an appointment I can go get my glasses I guess

I usually get emails about upcoming appointments so I should have contacted my therapist earlier I suppose, but I’m just not on the ball lately so it didn’t register that I wasn’t getting the regular notifications

Ok there was some kind of scheduling error so no therapy today...

glasses get, now I can see better... I'll just have to get used to them

Jonesy is being even more affectionate now, he let me pet his belly

jonesy sounds like a good boy

He is 🧡 He was a feral and has an eye issue, prob due to feline herpes, so I took him in. He’s been shy and slow to trust people, but he’s sweet.

I love that he's making strides

slowly but surely

not feeling great, new glasses are giving me a headache

with all the noise from fireworks going off probably going to feel worse when the night is over

rainy day, not much to do, so I can sit around and write tags. hopefully I can get caught up.

my therapy appointment was supposed to be rescheduled for today, but I still haven't received any emails or texts about it so idk. I texted my therapist to confirm whether she scheduled the session today or not.

so I did have my therapy earlier, but I didn't get the text to join the session until after it was supposed to start...

my therapist never did respond to my text so I had to explain I never got any e-mails or texts until I got that late one

good thing I hadn't decided to do something else and was still able to join her for the session

... now I'm drained, even tho I haven't really done anything today. I was going to pedal on the stationary bike, but I dozed off instead

tomorrow is a long bike ride day so I need to be to bed early. hopefully I can hack it, I have not been training like I should...

if I can get in enough rides the next couple weeks I may actually be in decent shape by the 19th idk

now I want to do tags/write a TL, but idk if I have the brains for it

rode 50 miles today, which isn't bad, but then I just wanted to nap... and that makes it hard to get any RP stuff done

ok got some tags done, tomorrow I'll try to get a TL written up

Hal’s sick/not feeling well, but hopefully it’s just an upset stomach and he won’t have to go to the vet...

Hal still acts like he’s not feeling well, but he’s eating canned food and drinking, so I’m holding off on taking him to the vet

He hasn’t had any more GI upsets so hopefully he’s getting better

I should really bike this morning, but my preferred trails are flooded

Have to ride the one that’s unfloodable

ok got a TL done, now I should probably go to bed early, but I'm not exactly tired yet

Hm, Butch’s Rx diet is back in stock, but the price has gone up...

And since the availability of food has been unreliable idk if I should put him back on that diet or not

It did help him tho and idk if the lamb diet he’s on is the best for him... he’s still getting some scabs/fur loss around his ears...

Hal still isn’t feeling good, apparently. He keeps hiding behind the recliner in my room. He came out some and ate yesterday, but this morning he’s not eating much...

So idk if Fri he’s still not doing better I’ll see if I can get him into the vet.... or they’re open Sat maybe they could get him in then

Actually, if he doesn’t eat much today I’ll call the vet before they close and see if I can bring him in tomorrow morning

Made a to-do list for my trip, have about 9 days to get it all together

I’m gonna try to get most of it done sooner than later so I’m not rushing at the last minute

well I'm getting an unexpected visit from my sister. she was supposed to get to Canada, but that went sideways and it's a whole thing, so... she's coming here. idk how long she'll be staying.

I cleaned the house this evening because she arrives tomorrow. I think I pretty much got everything done so things don't look bad or anything

my back just hurts now form cleaning the floors...

feeling sleepy today, but I'm going to try and do some tags

just ordered some board shorts because I hope to take the paddle board out on the water at some point this summer

didn't get much done today, but I got to pet Jonesy a lot so that's something

Severe thunderstorm is going to make it hard to sleep tonight

... good thing I opened up my tent this weekend to air it out, it stinks... I sprayed it thoroughly with antimicrobial fabric spray

I think my fitbit is dying, which is a bummer, because I'm doing all this exercising. so many steps won't be counted...

ok called the vet to make an appointment for Hal tomorrow and called the pharmacy to make sure they're getting my prescription refilled...

I hate calling places

woke up early, now I kind of want to go back to bed already...

maybe I can get some tags done before I have to pick up my prescription, tho

also I'll get some shopping done, I still need to pick up some travel-size things

so tired... but I should clear out the spare bedroom today... and I'll go shopping tomorrow morning

Hal's appointment went ok, got drops for his eyes, but I was told he has kidney disease and hey just failed to tell me.

I took him in earlier this month to have his bloodwork and everything done, but they never called me about the results. The vet just said "no news is good news" so I thought everything was ok, but it's not really..

now Hal has to be on a special diet and supplement to support his kidneys

I should really write tags and then work on packing, but I just feel like going back to bed

The problem with getting soda as a special treat, is then I want it all the time

I tried the blackberry Dr. Pepper and it’s pretty good. It’s a little grape-like but tasty

I’m still dragging tho even after all the sugar and caffeine...

now that I've recovered a bit from my trip I should probably try to get some things done, but I'm still a little out of it

at least I don't have to worry about raining now, I can just exercise when I feel like it... it's super hot today, but it'll cool off later this week so then I hope to get some walking in, at least

I felt bad about leaving Jonesy, as he's only warmed up to me so far. He's been real affectionate since I got back home. Now he's sleeping partially on my foot

I hope eventually he'll feel comfortable enough to sleep on my lap, but he hasn't gotten there yet

I want to make bubble tea... so... I should make some, I think
